[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 674337, member: 1963"] Not a problem, Kathy. The only reason I know about it is that a friend of mine who was on food stamps at that time, signed up for one of the phones as soon as they became available, so I knew it was during Bush's term. I agree that it's a great idea. As a sidelight, the "Bush Phone" uses Verizon's network, so it's also got darned good coverage in addition to being very economical. My friend no longer uses the Bush phone, but it was a godsend for her at the time. People also need to remember that ANY cellphone will work to call 911, even if it isn't on a plan. That law passed during Bush's administration as well. So, worst case scenario, give your kid an old cellphone and charger, and so long as the phone is kept charged, they at least have a way to call 911 in an emergency. [/QUOTE]
